Windows Users:

You should install your licenses to the drive where your HOMEDRIVE environment variable points, using any unzipping utility (e.g. WinZip). The emailed license .zip archive contains the requested license keys in a specific directory structure, so be sure to preserve the directory structure of the .zip file when extracting its contents. (In WinZip, this is done by making sure that the "Use folder names" checkbox is checked.)

To determine your HOMEDRIVE value, enter the following MS-DOS command:

Solaris and Linux Users:

Install your licenses to your HOME directory. For a typical configuration, you can determine your HOME directory by entering the following shell command:

# Find the home drive
unix-shell>echo $HOME

/home/bob

# Navigate to your home directory
unix-shell> cd /home/bob

# Extract the licenses
unix-shell> unzip core_licenses.zip

Windows: The installed license files have ".lic" extensions and should be located in:

C:\.Xilinx\Coregen\CoreLicenses\   (Note the "." prefix in the "Xilinx" folder name)

Solaris and Linux: The installed license files have ".lic" extensions and should be located in

~/.Xilinx/Coregen/CoreLicenses/
